Ordinarily /lib/cpp is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/cpp.  So, the first thing 
to do is to make sure that this link is present.  ls -l /lib/cpp should 
produce something like:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root      14 Jul 29 02:27 /lib/cpp -> ../usr/bin/cpp

If this link is missing, then create it, as root:

ln -s /usr/bin/cpp /lib/cpp

Also, when you do a ps and a grep, sometimes the grep will show up and 
sometimes it won't (sort of a benign race condition).  So, you have to look 
at the output.  Use "ps -auxw | grep vnc" and then look at the output.  
Probably it is as you suggest but it is easy to check.

A better way to check is to do something like "netstat -na | grep 5800" 
(assuming that 5800 is your port; replace it with the correct value).  What 
you are looking for here is a "LISTEN" line showwing something listening on 
the VNC port.  Again it probably isn't there but (again) it is easy enough to 
check.

I think that the link may be missing, so send another email if that doesn't 
get you anywhere.
